Important - a meta-analysis of 53 studies finds that resistance training not only boosts physical fitness in school-age kids but also enhances their cognition, academic results, and classroom behaviour. ( We need physical activity every day in schools secondary and primary )
If you’re starting a new program or taking over an existing one, never assume that the athletes understand what proper training is. In fact, assume nothing! https://t.co/BLvZ2ll4tx via @SimpliFaster

Floating heel, can’t fault to the pinky toe. Drives home the patterns we want.
I let players go barefoot if they want, not mandatory.
Stole this idea from @korfist
“I wanted the room to be able to flow well & take advantage of having access to our covered turf to incorporate sprints, jumps, and medicine ball throws."

7. Worrying about “sport specificity.”
8. Mimicking sport movements in the weight room
9. Long distance (miles) of running
10. Sets of 50 crunches
